I'm always freshest at start of week. Honestly if you do a Monday morning you can do final practice over the weekend and then just get it over with right away.

I did an end of week interview recently and that whole week my work quality suffered a lil bc I found it so hard to focus on my current job when I was interviewing for a dream job. (Sadly didn't get it- internal hire won out 🙄)

Everyone's different but if you normally feel drained/ less productive on Fridays then try and get the interview on a day where you feel fresher (also your interviewers mood will probably be fresher/ better too)

Friday is good. We often only scheduled interviews on Friday bc this was when the whole team was back in the office. This was a long time ago of course but nevertheless Friday is still good for internal stuff

A lot of them are on a Friday because that’s when there’s the least amount of client work

When I’m doing interviews during the week they’re normally squeezed in between 8 hours of other meetings and honestly conducting an interview is the last thing I want to do. I much prefer Fridays (and get very mad at recruiting when they put interviews on my calendar on other days lol)
